Surprise baby in the world

A friend of mine has a daughter with a great surprise!  She had a baby this week without knowing she was pregnant.  What an emotional time for everyone involved!  Needless to say, she was not prepared.  She has nothing.  Her family and friends are pulling together for her and getting little bits here and there but I'd like to do something special for her. I want my crochet and knitting friends to pull together also and shower her baby boy with hats, mittens, and booties! If you're willing to help, I can give you an address to ship the items to.  I'm taking a day off my Zachary personalized blanket since I'm a few days ahead of schedule, and working on somethings for him myself.    Can I count on you?
